About the Author
When Julie B. Carr was pregnant, her mother asked her, "What's happening to your baby today?"

Challenged, Julie did extensive research to answer that question and came up with a unique countdown guide/journal, which she self-published. Her self-published Countdown to My Birth now has over 20,000

copies in print. Most of the sales have been to infant shops, maternity shops, and hospital gift stores.

Julie lives with her husband and two children in Oregon.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect Gift for Expectant Parents (or Grandparents), March 31, 2009
Julie B. Carr's pregnancy journal COUNTDOWN TO MY BIRTH: A Day-By-Day Account from Your Baby's Point of View is another wonderful idea for someone who is expecting a baby. I sure wish I had had COUNTDOWN TO MY BIRTH when I was pregnant.

COUNTDOWN TO MY BIRTH is a daily account of a pregnancy as told by the unborn baby. It actually looks like one of those flip calendars, but it is also a journal (it even includes cute little stickers.) The premise is similar to MAKING ME -- you countdown the 40 weeks of your pregnancy by changing a page each day. Each page give you a little hint about what is happening with your baby on (or around) that day. It's especially cute since it's written from the baby's point of view. There is also a place for today's date, how many weeks and days you are into your pregnancy, and how many days are left. I also like that it has small section for the expectant mother to take notes. I like that you could capture your thoughts and feelings about your pregnancy using this calendar.

I would have loved it if someone had bought this journal for me when I was expecting. Truth be told, I probably would have bought it for myself had it been available. It makes a wonderful gift for the pregnant woman in your life, but it also would be a wonderful present for the expecting grandparents too! Check out the author's website Unique Pregnancy Gifts for more great gift ideas!

4.0 out of 5 stars Great....BUT......, February 18, 2009
I bought this months ago for a previous pregnancy that I miscarried. I am now using it again and enjoy it a lot. The only this is that I am 14 wks today and when I flipped the page, it said 15 wks. From 14 wks day 1 to 14wks day 6 is MISSING! Too bad! I hope that I just got a dud.
